Thx, yeah, they are Xenon.

JDM lights are 1 piece for 1st gen LS. You get them at Japan and it's a PITA.

If we do a group buy you think the JDM HeadLights would be any cheaper?

I don't think many would join...besides, you are buying from Junkyards, not from a dealership...cheaper that way.

If the guys who are looing for them come across two pairs at good price, I'll definetely tell you. I doubt it is going to happen any time soon since all the $ goes into performance now.

You have to send in your headlights to get them crystal cleared by Hilltop.

I would get them crystal clear if I could read jappanese or know someone in japan. Are those head lights JDM ? It looks like one piece but they would look really nice on an LS. BR1AN do you know how much do they charge or someone that is trustworthy to do it?

I have no idea how much they charge nor do I know anyone trustworthy enough to complete the job , BUT it's possible that someone will figure out how to get them done eventually. *AHEM*

I got to see a few diffrent types crystal cleared yesterday....... They were done by Hilltop. The price is around $700 depending on model of the car. I think they look In the picture they look good but up close it just looks like glass. Its NOT worth it and if the headlight seal leaks you wasted alot of money.

to convert that japanese website to english try http://babelfish.altavista.com/ For $700 that's probably a little toooo much, at least for my budget. I think I going to try sanding the headlights, from what I learned in a another post.
